Most excitingly is the magazine’s cover which gives us our first full-length look at Alden Ehrenreich and Joonas Suotamo as Han and Chewie.

The magazine also gives us an insight into what to expect from the film which, up until very recently, has been completely shrouded in mystery.

Kathleen Kennedy, the head of Lucasfilm, calls Solo “a heist, gunslinger type movie”, and an unnamed filmmaker adds detail calling it “a Western crossed with a film noir, freighted with offbeat humour and set in the criminal underbelly of a galaxy being torn apart.”

The heist element of the film is new information, and it apparently refers to a job Han and Chewie undertake to make a name for themselves in the criminal underworld. A newly released picture shows the dynamic duo attempting a daring caper aboard a galactic monorail called ‘The Conveyex’.

What they’re stealing, as yet, remains a mystery.

Here’s what else we just learned from EW’s Solo special…

Han Solo will “fall head over heels” for Emilia Clarke’s “shadowy” Qi’ra.
